After checking the video for the 1st 5 seconds after the 747 enters view. From 5 snapshots I get:
188 kts true path-velocity (not indicated speed)
Altitude 970 ft AGL (stdev 26) (minimal climb)
V/S 510 ft/min (minimal climb)
2 deg flight path (minimal climb)
36 deg pitch (stdev 4)
32 deg AOA (stdev 5)
At the moment the 747 enters view the 747 is 4600 ft away from camera (along ground). The 747 is 8500 ft from the T/O threshold (along ground) of the 11819 ft long runway.
If you have doubts please do your own calculations and let me know your numbers.
- Use the best video available.
- Google Earth
- Google Maps
- Airport map
- Most good video players
- Any decent Photoshop software
- 747F dimensions (Boeing)
- Get meters/pixel (object dependent)
- Get degrees/pixel
- Trigonometry
